Welcome to Duveneck Trailhead, a serene park located in the heart of California's stunning natural landscapes. Nestled within the watershed of the south fork of the Little Sur River, just south of Monterey, this 80-acre haven borders the majestic Ventana Wilderness. Originally a cherished family retreat, this land was generously donated by David and Peter Duveneck to The Wilderness Land Trust, ensuring its preservation for future generations. The Duveneck Trailhead is more than just a park; it's a piece of living history and a sanctuary for reconnecting with nature. For decades, the Duveneck family cherished this land as their personal paradise, where they camped, fished, and hiked amidst towering old-growth redwoods and the breathtaking views of Mt. Pico Blanco. The land was a place of family bonding, adventure, and deep appreciation for the great outdoors.
